As filed

Compared to the last special three weeks ago, which the market has seen a lot of volatility steers weighing 500-600 lbs and 650-700 lbs traded mostly 10.00-15.00 lower, with 600-650 lb selling unevenly steady on comparable sales and weights over 700 lbs were not well tested but sold with a lower undertone. Heifer calves weighing 400-450 lbs sold mostly steady on a light test, with all other weights trading with a lower undertone with limited comparisons on kind and quality. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate supply. Slaughter steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00 lower and slaughter cows traded steady after last week's sharply lower market.
